LiNa Energy | 7,514 followers on LinkedIn. LiNa Energy is leading the charge to develop and commercialise low-cost solid state sodium batteries. | LiNa Energy is a developer and provider of low-cost solid state sodium batteries, with a focus on the renewable energy storage market.

LiNa Energy was created as a spin-out of Lancaster University, where the founders Dr Gene Lewis and Dr Richard Dawson combined their expertise in ceramics and electrochemistry and applied this to the problem of energy storage. 
Since then, the company has developed an innovative solid state sodium-based battery technology which offers superior safety and sustainability standards compared to lithium-based batteries.

The theme of this year’s National Engineering Day was engineering role models, and since our engineers are so critical to all we do at LiNa Energy , we want to celebrate them not just on National Engineering Day, but every day🎉👩🔬 We’ve reached out to the team to get an insight into their inspiration. From early influences to admired mentors, our team have shared some lovely insights 🔎 Andreas Bäckström #NationalEngineeringDay #BatteryTechnology #EnergyStorage

National Engineering Day: Celebrating engineering role models🎉 The theme of this year’s National Engineering Day is role models, so we’ve reached out to our team to find out about their sources of inspiration 💫 From early influences to admired mentors, they’ve shared their own stories. We’ll be posting these over the coming weeks - as we believe our engineers deserve to be celebrated not just on National Engineering Day, but every day 🔎👩🔬 #NationalEngineeringDay Richard Dawson

👩🔬 Beyond the Lab: The Pets of LiNa Energy 🐕🐈 This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Reuben Walcott ’s two adorable dogs, Woody (on the left) and Buzz (on the right). These lovable half-beagle, half-cocker spaniels are a dynamic duo and will celebrate their 3rd birthday this November. We love to see the pets behind the people in our team and have to say these two are certainly a gorgeous pair 🐕🐕 #Pets #BatteryTechnology #BeyondtheLab

Project PEEKaboo - Full update 📣 Last week, we shared insights into our Impact Accelerator Program, ‘Project PEEKaboo,’ led by Lancaster University and supported by Victrex , with funding from the IAA. This project focused on assessing the suitability of PEEK (Polyether-ether-ketone), a high-performance engineering polymer, for use within LiNa Energy ’s advanced cell assembly units. PEEK is chemically resistant, provides electrical insulation and offers mechanical stability, even at the high temperatures required by LiNa. However, there is limited data available for this material at our application temperatures. We’re therefore delighted to share these key outcomes from testing PEEK’s performance at 200°C+ ⬇ ✅ Proven Feasibility: Successfully 3D-printed PEEK components for LiNa’s cell assemblies, with functional prototypes developed and tested. 🛠️ 3D-Printing Best Practices: Created a comprehensive set of best practices for 3D-printing PEEK to ensure quality and consistency. 🌡️ In-Depth Material Insights: Gained a thorough understanding of PEEK’s mechanical properties and thermal creep behaviour, applicable to both 3D-printed and traditionally manufactured forms, at LiNa’s operational temperatures. 📊 New Material Database: Developed a previously unavailable database of 3D-printed PEEK properties, capturing data for temperatures exceeding 200°C. 🔍 Predictive Modeling Capability: Built and validated a computational model to accurately predict the mechanical and thermal creep behaviour of 3D-printed PEEK at elevated temperatures. Thanks to everyone involved - it's great to be able to share this update 🙌 #Innovation #BatteryTechnology

We had a bit of spooky fun in the office yesterday 🎃👻 Can you unmask these LiNa Energy ghouls? Guess our Halloween enthusiasts for a chance to win a fang-tastic LiNa Hoodie 🍌🧛♂️ #Deeptech #Cleantech #FunInTheLab

If you can’t have a bit of fun in the lab on Halloween, when can you? 🎃👻 Usually when you 3D print, you're working with plastic - great for most things - like this ghoulish build. However, you can’t use most conventional plastics when you're dealing with the high temperatures (250°C+) that our batteries operate at. That’s why we use PEEK, a traditional well-known wonder material with significant thermal stability and chemical compatibility properties. We just wrapped up our impact accelerator program, ‘Project PEEKaboo,’ led by Lancaster University and supported by Victrex . We’ll share more details next week, so keep your eyes peeled 👀. In the meantime, enjoy this Halloween 3D build on repeat - we can’t get enough of it! #3Dprinting #innovation #batterytechnology

👩🔬 Beyond the Lab: The Pets of LiNa Energy 🐕🐈 This week, we’re featuring Dawid Januszkiewicz ’s two adorable cats, Brusia and Bella. Dawid and his wife adopted the pair from an animal shelter eight months apart. Despite the gap, Brusia and Bella quickly became inseparable. Now, they’re the best of friends and do almost everything together - especially napping! What a gorgeous pair they are 🐈🐈 #BatteryTechnology #Innovation #OfficePets

🔋Unlocking Battery Innovation: The Power of Data📊 At LiNa Energy , we're not just building batteries - we're building the future of sodium energy storage. While building and testing thousands of cells is vital to our R&D, the real game-changer is how we leverage the vast amounts of data generated in the process. Our in-house developed "data brain" is the key to this acceleration. One standout feature is our 'Cell Passport' tool. With a single click, any team member can access a cell’s performance and see things like: 📈Composition details 📈Builder information 📈Runtime data 📈Live cycling This instant access to detailed cell information empowers our team to make rapid, informed decisions, driving breakthroughs and accelerating our progress in battery technology. #batterytechnology #research #testing #data Duncan Bloemers

Earlier this year Will Tope spoke on a panel at the Energy Tech Summit in Bilbao, Spain. He was on a panel discussing the future of solid-state batteries with Arfa Karani, PhD, Casper Peeters , Yan Zhu and Mike O'Kronley . There were a couple of key issues that were discussed, which remain increasingly important right now ⬇️ 🔀Pathways to Commercialisation Identifying what customers actually want from solid state batteries and the timeframe and pathways to adoption. It's critical to zoom in on a limitation of incumbent tech, and find a partner who finds that weakness very painful. 📈How we nurture transparent and holistic data sharing Avoiding the temptation to rely on isolated KPIs and ensuring we are informing the industry as better informed investors and customers are good for everyone. If you’d like to listen to the recording it’s available here 🎧⬇️ #energytechsummit #innovation #cleantech

Last weekend Team LiNa Energy was at the FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric event, where our Chair Arvind Sabharwal joined an Ask the Experts panel to discuss key topics around energy investment and why decarbonisation technologies are set to lead the future. A great panel 🎉 Dave Borlace - Just Have a Think, Scott Duncan - OVO , Sarah Merrick - Ripple Energy & Matthew Boyes - Hometree #cleantech #batterytechnology #innovation
